Details
Highlights
- Increased well life-cycle longevity helps lower capital expenditures and increase production
- The exceptional hardness of 3M™ Silicon Carbide directly addresses the root cause of failures commonly seen with conventional metallic sand control systems, offering repeatable and reliable erosion protection at the sand face
- Helps reduce HS&E and operational risk while improving return on equity
- Superior corrosion resistance
- Excellent thermal properties, including thermal resistance and coefficient of thermal elongation, compared to conventional metal screens
- Easy deployment via wireline/slickline, coiled tubing or conventional rig system
- Modular construction system allows for length flexibility, easy operational planning and short delivery times
- Optimized design encourages a natural sand pack formation around the ceramic screen without compromising productivity
3M™ Ceramic Stand-alone Sand Screens are designed to deliver high performance sand control in new wells and workover applications, both in unconsolidated formations and where proppant flowback poses a risk.
3M™ Ceramic Stand-alone Sand Screens are designed to deliver high performance sand control in new wells and workover applications, both in unconsolidated formations and where proppant flowback poses a risk. The modular concept design features a perforated continuous base pipe with a flexible stack of ceramic rings to help reduce deployment and operational risk associated with some conventional sand control solutions. The ceramic material allows for these screens to be placed directly across the perforation without a gravel pack, allowing large internal pass-throughs and low pressure drops resulting in higher productivity and longer well life cycle.
